Foxtale is a private mental health journal and mood tracker with a self-care pet: a fox companion who grows as you do. Name what you feel, spot the patterns in your mental health, and turn checking in on yourself into a journaling habit you look forward to. "I’ve never been able to journal, but this little fox helps me process my thoughts and emotions." - App Store Review, 2026 A mental health journal you will actually keep up. Most mental health journal and mood tracker apps get abandoned within a week. Foxtale is built to be picked up: short guided journal prompts, a cozy world that changes with each entry, and a self-care pet who is glad to see you. People tell us the journaling feels less like a task and more like a hobby, and that a few minutes each morning or evening has quietly become part of their self-care routine. Understand your emotions, not just log your mood. Each journal entry starts by naming the emotion, not just "good" or "bad" but the specific feeling underneath. That one step is what helps you process an emotion and move through it rather than sit in it, which is why Foxtale works as mental health support and not only as a mood tracker. Over time your mood tracker shows what lifts you, what drains you, and how your emotions shift across the week, so the mental health insights are about your life, not a generic score. A self-care pet, not a chore. As you journal, your fox gathers your emotions as glowing orbs to restore a forgotten world. You can dress your fox and decorate their home, but the game stays in service of your self-care rather than the other way round. If you have tried a self-care pet app before and wanted more substance underneath the cute, Foxtale was made for you. Mental health support for the hard stretches. Foxtale is often downloaded in the middle of something difficult: an anxiety flare-up, grief, a breakup, burnout, a diagnosis you are still getting your head around. The prompts are written for those moments, and the mood tracker gives you a calm, private place to put what you are carrying and to see your mental health steady over time. A journal built for minds that work differently. Foxtale is used by people living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, PTSD and OCD, and by ADHD, autistic and AuDHD people who find open-ended journaling hard to start. Guided prompts, emotion labels and a feelings wheel give structure when a blank page does not, and gentle reminders help the habit stick without nagging. It also helps if you struggle to identify your emotions (alexithymia), or experience mood swings and shutdowns that a standard mood tracker misses. What's inside your mental health journal: Mood tracker and emotion tracker with clear visual insights Guided journal prompts and emotion labels Gratitude and reflection prompts for daily self-care and mental health check-ins Short emotion and mental health lessons grounded in real psychology A self-care pet fox and an evolving story driven by your entries Customizable journal templates and reminders 100% private: your journal and mood tracker data stay on your device Built by the mental health tracking team behind Bearable: Foxtale comes from the team behind Bearable, the health and mood tracking app used by hundreds of thousands of people living with chronic and mental health conditions. Everything in Foxtale, from the journal prompts to the mood tracker insights, is built on what we learned about what helps people keep tracking and what does not. Start your story today.

Your body keeps the score. Tension, shutdown, overwhelm. What your mind survives, your body stores. Somapy is a daily somatic practice that helps you regulate your nervous system, release stored stress, and come home to your body. No talking. No journaling. Just guided, body-based sessions you can do anywhere, in 5 to 15 minutes a day. WHAT YOU'LL FEEL • Less hypervigilance, more groundedness • Deeper, more restorative sleep • A nervous system that no longer treats every Monday like a threat • The quiet certainty that you are safe in your body HOW IT WORKS Somapy combines four evidence-based somatic modalities into one daily ritual: • Breathwork. Slow, structured patterns that pull you out of fight-or-flight in minutes. • Grounding. Sensory practices that bring you back when you've been gone for hours, days, years. • Movement. Gentle, intentional motion that releases what words can't reach. Every session is short, structured, and designed to fit between meetings, before bed, or in the back of an Uber. BUILT FOR THE NERVOUS SYSTEM YOU ACTUALLY HAVE Somapy starts by listening. A guided check-in maps where you carry tension, how you sleep, and how regulated your system feels right now. Your daily ritual is then tuned to what your body needs, not a one-size-fits-all program. As you practice, the app adapts. Bad sleep? Slower breathwork. Anxious morning? More grounding. WHO SOMAPY IS FOR • People who've tried therapy, meditation apps, journaling, and still feel wired • Anyone living with chronic tension, hypervigilance, or burnout • Survivors of stress, trauma, or just modern life • Anyone who has been told to "calm down" and found out the hard way that it doesn't work that way WHAT YOU GET • A new guided session every day • A growing library of breathwork, grounding, movement • Cycle-aware insights and gentle reminders • Progress tracking that respects your privacy • No streaks designed to make you feel bad ABOUT SOMAPY Somapy was built on one idea: calm is a practice, not a trait. Your nervous system is rewireable. It just needs the right kind of attention, repeated daily. Most wellness apps talk to your mind. Somapy talks to your body. SUBSCRIPTION Somapy is free to download and offers an auto-renewing subscription with full access to all sessions and features. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
